Surveys. There's a bunch of companies on the internet, you take surveys and earn points. Then trade the points in for gift cards. The surveys are sponsored by all kinds of other companies, and the survey company provides the data from the survey-taker to their client.
If a survey-taker switches around their answer too many times it sets off a flag and they are kicked out and no longer able to take surveys (therefore not able to get gift cards) anymore.
Plus these surveys are looking for ALL kinds of things, and sometimes only use the answer to the question "how much in investable assets do you have" to verify that you really are you, taking the survey.
In addition, some of those companies are looking for specific demographics and you only qualify to take the survey, if you meet that demographic. So it's in your best interest, if you really want to participate, to tell the truth. If you say you only have $20k in investable assets and they're looking to reward someone with more than $500,000 to invest, then you just disqualified yourself.
I'd say it isn't likely that someone with a million bucks in investable assets would be interested in taking these surveys but apparently some do.
Often these surveys contribute to those political polls you see on the internet.
